Set in an age of exploration, Bhat Boy's vivid fantasy is a fast-paced page-turner illustrated with maps and drawings by the author, perfect for young readers and adults alike. When everything Brunet has ever known is destroyed in a fire, he discovers he is not even who he thought he was.

Charters Hill turns out to be a forbidding place of secrets and shadows, its only friendly face being the brilliant but bossy Margatha.
